On the 11th, YTN Radio's 'Attorney Jo In-seop's Counseling Center' featured the story of Mr. A, who has been married for 10 years and is a single-income earner. Mr. A said, "My wife came in drunk and suddenly gave me pocket money," adding, "For some reason, I felt something was off, so I opened my wallet while she was asleep, and there was an unfamiliar bankbook. The amount printed on the account was a whopping 1.2 billion won, and what shocked me even more was that the lottery winnings were deposited three years ago. Also, there were many months when my card bill was withdrawn by 20 to 30 million won, and I had already spent over 400 million won . He said he had already spent over 400 million won. Mr. A said, "Without even knowing that, I lived with a tight household budget on a single income and had to pay off loans, holding back the clothes and food I wanted. I felt sorry for giving my wife 1 million won every month for living expenses, and I felt so foolish and pitiful," ,,, "I immediately woke my wife and confronted her, saying, 'How could you do this to your family?' but she said, 'I won my lottery ticket, so what does it matter? It's my money, so don't worry about it,' and actually became more confident." Eventually, they decided to divorce, but they sought advice, saying, "If we divorce, can the remaining lottery winnings that my wife kept hidden still be divided among the assets?" The lawyer said, "The lottery prize money is a 'unique asset' for that person, but even after winning, if the couple maintained their communal life and contributed to maintaining and preventing the loss of the winnings , then they can be subject to property division." He said. However, "just because the wife used the prize money alone, it is difficult to consider the entire amount spent as a division," and added, "After most of the winnings are used up, the remaining prize money can be used by Mr. A for living expenses or to repay apartment loans, etc. It seems possible that the wife could be included in some property divisions," ,,,he added, "If it is recognized that the wife is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage, she could claim compensation for emotional distress based on this." Regarding whether the wife's concealment of her lottery win constitutes grounds for divorce, she said, "While hiding that fact is hard to consider as grounds for divorce, if hiding that fact breaks trust and there is no possibility of restoring the marriage, it can be grounds for divorce," ,,, "If the wife drinks He said he ate and gave her allowance, but if the wife has been addicted to nightlife all this time, it could be considered 'misconduct,' the first ground for divorce under civil law." 1.2 billion won should be enough to pay off the loan,,, but living in the same house as my husband who pays off the loan for living expenses,,, It's amazing !! think that my money is separate for me!!!!!!!
